Variational Principles for Water Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the Hamiltonian structures, including the Poisson brackets and Hamiltonians, for free boundary problems for incompressible fluid flows with vorticity. The Hamiltonian structure is used to obtain variational principles for stationary gravity waves both for irrotational flows as well as flows with vorticity.

Variational Principle for the Generalized KdV-Burgers Equation with Fractal Derivatives for Shallow Water Waves
The unsmooth boundary will greatly affect motion morphology of a shallow water wave, and a fractal space is introduced to establish a generalized KdV-Burgers equation with fractal derivatives. The semi-inverse method is used to establish a fractal variational formulation of the problem, which provides conservation laws in an energy form in the fractal space and possible solution structures of t...
متن کاملVariational principles for water waves from the viewpoint of a time-dependent moving mesh
The time-dependent motion of water waves with a parametrically-defined free surface is mapped to a fixed time-independent rectangle by an arbitrary transformation. The emphasis is on the general properties of transformations. Special cases are algebraic transformations based on transfinite interpolation, conformal mappings, and transformations generated by nonlinear elliptic PDEs. The aim is to...
متن کاملModeling water waves beyond perturbations
In this chapter, we illustrate the advantage of variational principles for modeling water waves from an elementary practical viewpoint. The method is based on a ‘relaxed’ variational principle, i.e. , on a Lagrangian involving as many variables as possible, and imposing some suitable subordinate constraints. This approach allows the construction of approximations without necessarily relying on ...
متن کاملA variational approach to the problem of oscillations of an elastic half cylinder
This paper is devoted to the spectral theory (more precisely, tothe variational theory of the spectrum) of guided waves in anelastic half cylinder. We use variational methods to investigateseveral aspects of propagating waves, including localization (seeFigure 1), existence criteria and the formulas to find them. Weapproach the problem using two complementary methods: Thevariational methods fo...
متن کاملOn a variational approach for Stokes conjecture in water waves: existence of regular waves
Using the variational approach of Alt and Caffarelli in this paper we give an alternative proof of a theorem of Keady and Norbury on the existence of a family of regular water waves. Dedicated to Paolo Marcellini on the occasion of his 60th birthday
